(Change Scenes)

Pooja (Judge): [Hits the Gavel on the table.] ORDER IN THE COURT! ORDER IN MY COURT!

Rachel (Ernesto): [Comes In] Handcuffed.

Pooja: Ernesto to the stand. (Rachel walks up)

Pooja: Ms. Smith come you have the floor and the opinion of the jury. You can choose to use it or you can choose not to.

Sierra (Ms. Smith): (Walks up to the stand.) This lady (points to doll) has been sexually abused and kidnapped by this man (points to Rachel) says the victim.

Pooja: Do you have any evidence or any questions that could prove this man is guilty?

Sierra: Yes ma’am. Do you know this young lady?

Rachel: Yes, I do.

Sierra: Were you with her the night of this incident?

Rachel: I PLEAD THE FIFTH!

FREEZE!

Pooja: The Fifth Amendment states that the accused can not be forced to be questioned against his will.

Sierra: So when Ernesto said that he “plead the fifth” it meant that he didn’t want to be questioned. When they plead the fifth, it usually means they are guilty.
